well thats what a rival does in pokemon games, what makes her (and jake i guess) stand out from other trainers is that she travels with you, you ACTUALLY get to know her and befriend her, unlike the gym leaders and the horde of basic trainers you fight throughout the game, she seems to always, no matter what (AND along with jake), keeps up with you and gives you a real fight. those who reked her either trained like MAD for either the roscove and frostveil city gyms and were overly prepared against jake and tess, or had a secret weapon to use against her dragon types.

also if your think a rival to be like blue from pokemon red/blue i think blue actually is a uniuqe rival as having a rival can mean you can also be friends, blue doesnt want that

sorry for this being long winded, i get carried away, XD
